Speaking his thoughts is nothing new for Shaquille O’Neal, and it’s obvious that his son Myles O’Neal has inherited this quality. The 27-year-old model immediately shared his harsh opinions on the Los Angeles Clippers. Even Shaq, a devoted Lakers fan, had to check him after reading some of the scathing comments.
In Complex’s Goat Talk series on their YouTube channel, Shaq and Myles exchanged a wide range of questions with one another about a wide range of subjects. One of the questions posed to them asks to identify the NBA’s worst player.
Shaq selected Rudy Gobert without any delay. Myles, though, took it a step farther. He didn’t limit himself to mentioning a single participant.
Myles stated: “I think in true LA fashion, anybody that plays on the f- Clippers. F**k the Clippers. I hate the Clippers so much. Anybody that plays for the Clippers, all of you, I hate you,”
Shaquille O’Neal’s hillarious threats to his son
Shaq, the legendary player for the Los Angeles Lakers, was visibly shocked by his son’s outburst. In an attempt to check him, he even went one step farther. The large dad appeared to be genuinely sorry for his son’s outburst. Shaq stated: “He’s 27 and I can’t spank him ’cause it’s against the law. But we’re sorry Clippers,”
Myles, though, could not quit giggling. He exuded pride in his viewpoint as a Lakers supporter. Myles isn’t the first Lakers supporter to show contempt for the Clippers, and he won’t be the last either. They have been compared to Los Angeles’ “little brother,” the Lakers being the bigger brother.

For the most of their existence, the Clippers were considered the NBA’s laughingstock, but everything changed in 2009 when Blake Griffin was selected. With 596 victories since 2013, the Clippers are second only to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA. With 425 wins, their opponents, the Lakers, are ranked 24th, almost at the bottom. But in 2020, the Lakers managed to secure a title ahead of the Clippers.
Naturally, Myles’ lighthearted attitude comes through in his tirade against the Clippers. He does, however, express a view that many Lakers fans have with the Clippers.
